We passed along the Colorado River on the Arizona side from Parker to Ehrenberg this afternoon. There were several marshes along the route, mostly along irrigation canals for the local agriculture. At one point, I observed some white birds in flight near the canals. We passed a brood of Cattle Egrets scurrying behind their mom. I think that’s dad in the air above. Click on the image to enlarge.
We visited the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona today. This beautiful bronze sculpture of Apache Warriors was part of the Museum’s art gallery. There were so many wonderful pieces, it was difficult to choose which to include here. Click on the image to enlarge.
We had some spare time today, so we decided to take a drive out to Lake Pleasant in North Maricopa County, Arizona. It was really too hot to have a picnic like we originally intended, so we drove up to the visitors center and took some pictures. I made this panoramic image that shows only a portion of the lake from Bass Bay on the left to the New Waddell Dam on the right.

The hoomins went shopping today in another place. I had to stay with the pet sitting place where there was a vet. It was sorta boring but they were nice to me.
Later, the hoomins came and got me and then we went to have a picnic in the park. I like picnics because the Mama and Daddy let me have some of the leftover meat (left) and that makes me happy (right). Click me to make me big.
After the picnic we went to the big house with lots of little rooms for hoomins and dogs. When I get there, I can take a nap.
We arrived at our new Arizona town this morning. After checking the contents of the PO box, we met with the Realtor to go over some of the latest details of our project. When we were done with that, it was almost lunch time so we went to the grocery store and bought a couple of salads for lunch. We then went to the park and had a picnic.
Later, we met with our builder to finalize the layout of the house on our lot. He had some suggestions to accommodate some of our preferences on layout of the house and attached garage. We also worked out a plan to build an RV pad with full hookups.
After all the chores were done, it was still too early to check in to our room so we went back to the park and blogged. The image is us in the park with Bear. Click to enlarge.
